How To Check The Legitimacy Of The Travel Company Or Agency

There are millions of travel companies in India operating in different niches. But there are very few companies you can trust, and lots of fake websites and travel agencies are operating in India, which can take your hard-earned money from you. So it's very important to check a company's background thoroughly before booking your tour with any of these companies or travel agencies. Here are a few points that will help you to judge a company and check the legitimacy of that organisation.

Registration Number:-

Before going with any travel agency, always try to ensure that the company is registered with any local or national government agency. Always ask for the company's registration certificate or Company Identification Number. Check this registration certificate on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) website.

How to check on the MCA website:-

Step 1:- Visit the MCA website

Step 2:- Enter the company / LLP name or CIN number and press "enter"

Step 3:- Enter the security question and submit

Step 4: A list of companies will open up with that name

Step 5:- Click on the CIN/FCRN/LLPIN/FLLPIN number of the company you want to check

Step 6:- Solve the puzzle and boom. Complete details of the company are in front of you, with its registered address, director details, date of incorporation, registered email ID, etc. For further verification, you can contact the director at the same email address.

GST Registration:-

Always ask for the GST registration number and get it verified at the GST portal

Step 1:-Visit https://services.gst.gov.in/services/login

Step 2:- Log in to your account

Step 3:- Click on Search Taxpayer and select Search by GSTIN / UIN

Step 4:- Enter the GSTIN of the company, and you will get complete details of that company.

Google Review / Quora / TripAdvisor:-

The best way to judge a company's service quality is by checking its Google review or Quora, or TripAdvisor. The best way to check the reviews of these companies is by the frequency of reviews. If you find any review within a few hours or in a short span of time, it's a sign of fake or self-financed reviews. Check its positive and negative reviews thoroughly, with its response to positive or negative reviews. It will help you understand better the quality of service they used to provide. If you find anything suspicious, it's time to search for some other company to save your hard-earned money from any fraud or unprofessional company.

Photo Link:-

Ask for previous batch photos with banners or video reviews of old customers. If possible, also ask for the email IDs of their old customer to know more about the company, its expertise, and all. Don't just settle for one or two photos; ask them to provide you with more than 50-60 photos with a banner.

Payment by Secured Medium:-

Always try to make payment using a secure medium like a credit card/payment gateway, etc. So that in case of any fraud, you can recover your money at any time or at least get the actual details of the company to file an FIR against the company. If they don't have these facilities, then at least go for a bank deposit and verify the account to be a current account before making any payment. Don't pay any amount in cash this may create a problem for you.

Verify the company's contact details:-

Always verify the company's contact details from their original website and contact them and let them know about the deal before making any payment to that person / Company.

Get your Itinerary at your email ID:-

To avoid any confusion or denial from the company side, always request them to send the package details with the itinerary/exclusion / Terms and Conditions in your email. Always ask them to send these details to your registered email ID.
